by Can anyone help me out with using the prism2_pci module with a
PCI-based card? So much of what I can find on the newsgroups etc. is
aimed at PCMCIA interfaces.
I have Mandrake 8.2 on a system which includes a Linksys WMP11 PCI
802.11 adapter, which I believe is a Prism 2.5 device?
I can do "insmod p80211" and then "insmod prism2_pci" and both seem to
succeed, giving only the "Using /lib/modules/..." message. In
/var/log/messages I see:
"[...] kernel: init_module: prism2_pci.o: 0.1.13 Loaded"
"[...] kernel: init_module: dev_info is: prism2_pci"
"[...] kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:0f.0"
"[...] kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:0d.0"
"[...] kernel: A Prism2.5 PCI device found, phymem:0xd7000000, irq:10"
"[...] kernel: , mem:0xd4862000"
"[...] /etc/hotplug/net.agent: invoke ifup wlan0"
At this point, "ifconfig wlan0" works, but I can't get it to accept an
address (e.g. with "ifconfig wlan0 <addr>"). "ifup wlan0" says
"SIOCIFFLAGS: No such device" then "Failed to bring up wlan0."
"iwconfig wlan0" gives "wlan0 no wireless extensions."
"cat /proc/net/wireless" in some states seems to show link/level/noise
readings, but also frequently shows all zeros.
I feel like I'm missing something small - any pushes in the right
direction would be much appreciated!
TIA,
Adam
